Google will today announce the ability to disable Gmail’s conversation view e-mail threading feature. Conversation view has been one of its most hotly debated features since the service launched in 2004.
Google will be rolling out conversation view settings over the next several days. It will first be available to Google Apps users who have selected “Enabled pre-release features” for their organizations.
Even with the release of a toggle for conversation view, it’s doubtful that the debate over its effectiveness will end any time soon. Fans of conversation view cite its ability un-clutter inboxes by threading conversations based on message connections. Naysayers, however, have complained that threading is simply a distraction that complicates the way e-mail has worked for nearly 20 years in clients like Outlook.
What side of the argument do you fall on? Are you a threaded conversation advocate or an e-mail purist?
